/**

  An impressive little bit of code from Lee Crawford at Twofish Technology 
  (crawford@twofish.com). I want to be able to stream outout to a TextArea,
  much like a debugging console window. This wraps a stream around a TextArea.<P>

  This creates a stream that has its output pointing to the textArea. It turns
  out you only need to override write() to get this to work; the other methods
  eventually call that.<P>

  The JDK 1.1 spec wants you to use PrintWriter over PrintStreams, but
  (same song, 142nd verse) Netscape is only at the 1.02 stage. I don't think
  it would be hard to implement this over a PrintWriter.

  use it as follows:

  textAreaStream = new TextAreaStream (textArea);
  outputStream   = new PrintStream (textAreaStream);   
  [...]
  outputStream.println ("Button was pressed.");
